An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
She said on Monday that she was just out of a depressive episode. So if she really is bipolar, I doubt it's related to that. I was considering some of this could be explained by mania but that doesn't seem to have been the case.

Unless she's been in manic mode the entire time. I steered clear because of her tendency to mock or bully other people, but never suspected she was a scammer.
I'm sorry people got scammed.

Yes!!! The mocking thing I've been noticing lately. Have to be honest I do not like it!!!!
Also, I seen the comments about signatures, I assumed it was the tagline under the username? Am I wrong on that one?
So am I. So that's probably the reason. In any case it limits the signatures' range. We probably need a "beware of scammers" message sent every month to all users.

I cant believe this, since I have been a member, Rachel74 has been a good friend to me, and not once has she tried to sell me anything, and I saw the screenshots, but I still cant believe it. I've been of the forum for a few days and then I see this, wtf
Jeez bloody hell what have I come on too this morning? I spoke to her in PM loads, as she claimed she was from my neck of the woods, even sent photos and stuff? Would all that have been a lie? Was I too damned trusting, she never tried to sell me anything, it was all just general chit chat and stuff and talking about another user who was apparently in same area. Some of the thing's she said though in PM doesn't make me think she was lying about where she was too, oh hell my brain hurts and I am confused!!
I rarely talk in PM, conversation escapes me, I truely hope that one of the rare few I spoke too isn't really a full liar, just someone confused in a bad mental state?

Wow. I felt something was off when she hijacked my thread and started to shit on it. Now I don't feel so bad for fending her off by questioning how she is any different than a pro-lifer with all that provocation.

Dear god..... I feel very sad when people are tricked into buying the wrong materials for CTB. It makes me angry that Rachel has been screwing with the whole lot of us, especially the more vulnerable ones all this time. I'm livid.
As for me, I try to assume good faith towards other members here until they give me a reason not to.
why would anyone want someone else to send them SN, when so easy to get?! also that is v.worring that is was wrong stuff anyway. jeez its crazy. what the hell was going on...not like u can even make any money from sn..which makes it an even weirder thing to say u would do

It's a done deal. Rachel was a faker and I am glad that she can't cause any more harm here. Just how vile could you get, trying to take advantage of vulnerable people? It goes against the core values of this community - to give support and comfort, and to help people find solace in their final moments.
I'm shocked and devastated. I've been in pm with Rachel74 constantly since I returned to ss in august. I got to know her and we became friends. Or at least I thought we did.
I thought I was good at spotting inconsistencies online and I didn't see any from her. Some up and down behavior but I assumed that was the bpd.
I confess, colour me niave but I'm really hurt. If she is a scammer (and from what I see here it looks likely ) then I'm appalled at her behaviour to befriend people in such an emotional position. She supported me. Now I'm devastated.
A part of me still hopes that she was genuine and her behaviour was part of the bpd.
If she was a scammer then she was a good one. I know you can't trust anyone online but my instincts told me she was genuine.
Now I don't know what to think and I'm questioning all the compassion I've been shown on here. I felt low before. Now...
I'm sure it was quite a hit. I know it is easier said than done, But please don't question everything here - there is real compassion and people who care. A real support system.
Sending you hugs and good thoughts.

In that case, we'll just have to out them all. Predators get outed one way or another. That's coming from someone that thought he was the king of manipulation prior joining SS.

I think everyone is bit shocked at this. I certainly was. I recall seeing her name in posts, but never really paid much mind until I stumbled on a thread where she was involved a discussion about N & making arrangements with someone. I remember in the thread (I think) some user called another user their guardian angel for providing them with n. It seemed strange but I was happy that things seemingly worked. I still felt it was odd tho. Something seemed off. Guess I was unfortunately right. Truly Sorry to anyone who got deceived & lost money.

Maybe I am too kind, but speaking to others in PM, Rachel stayed true in her story to many ie location and personal circumstances. Maybe she was a faker, but I wouldn't say it was a done deal, I never saw her say a harsh word to another, but I have heard of it happening, but she never crossed me, for those times I spoke to her scammer or not, I thank her for taking the time to ask how I was doing and so forth
Legit N is very difficult to acquire - Rachel was able to scam so many people because a lot of us are vulnerable and we just want out of this hellhole very quickly. That makes it hard for a lot of us to think rationally. Seriously, fuck her and I'm glad she's exposed. Good freaking riddance.

That's a common goading tactic to make you let your guard down. I'd know - I've been doing this sort of shit for years. Never defend truly awful people. They don't deserve that courtesy.
For the last couple of years, I was "kind" to a lot of people outside of SS because I wanted to use them for my projects. I couldn't care LESS about their lives, or if they're struggling. All the "comfort" I provided to them was all fake. Not real. I only did it so that they'd think I actually cared, and hence, be inclined to continue providing their services.
I quit doing that because I am spending my final moments here. There's gotta be some good things that I could do before I'm gone.
